The Temple of Hercules Victor
or Hercules Olivarius is a Roman temple in Piazza Bocca della Verità, the former Forum Boarium, in Rome, Italy. It is a tholos, a round temple of Greek 'peripteral' design completely surrounded by a colonnade.
After land was obtained from the magistrates, Octavius dedicated a building and statue to him, in engraved letters he called him Victor. According to Macrobius, the merchant Marcus Octavius Herrenus built the temple in order to give thanks to Hercules from saving him from pirates
